NHS App Notifications

Switch on NHS App Notifications and Help Reduce Costs

If you haven’t tried the NHS App yet, now is a great time. It’s easy to use and keeps your health information in one place.

How to enable notifications:

  1. Open the NHS App and tap the person icon in the top right corner.

  2. Scroll to Notifications.

  3. Switch notifications on.

By making this small change, you can stay informed and help the NHS save money.
